During a recent radio interview, I heard one of the speakers refer to an issue as being a "hot rail". Does anyone know where this expression comes from?

I'm a fairly new high school English and social studies teacher and can't seem to get my kids motivated for learning. They don't seem to have much resilience - if they don't succeed on their very first attempt, they quit. How can I teach them persistence? Any ideas? I have tried many 'tricks', like rewarding for effort (not only achievement) and marking on rough copies/editing etc.
Is it just 'kids these days'? I really don't believe that. I have managed to turn a couple of kids on to reading (through cool books). I've tried modelling the bahaviours I want to see.
Any tips or ideas?
